09 -
Lemon wedges to squeeze on top
# Instructions:
01 -
Once they’re out of the oven, put those scallops on plates while they’re still hot. Add lemon wedges on the side if you like things zesty.
02 -
Carefully grab the dish from the oven. Let it sit for a minute or two. It’s ready to eat!
03 -
Slide the baking dish into the hot oven. Watch for the breadcrumb topping to get golden and scallops to turn a solid white (about 10-12 minutes).
04 -
Shake that breadcrumb-Parmesan-parsley mix over the scallops. Make sure you get it all covered.
05 -
Take a second small bowl. Dump in your breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and parsley. Give it a quick stir to blend it together.
06 -
Lay the dried scallops flat in a baking dish. Pour your garlic-butter mix all over so each one gets a good coat.
07 -
Melt the butter and toss in the garlic. Add a splash of lemon juice, some salt, a bit of pepper. Give it a quick mix in a little bowl.
08 -
Turn on your oven to 400°F (200°C). Takes a few minutes, so get it going first.
# Notes:
01 -
You can toss on extra Parmesan before baking for even more flavor.
02 -
If you want a crunchier top, throw it under the broiler for another minute or two after baking.
